- Code letter: C, F
Reasons: More delving will be helpful here, but I think I've stumbled onto an seemingly endless pit of socks of Maleabroad. If they're not Maleabroad, they still feel very much like all the same person -- same accusations of vandalism when edits are challenged, same aggressiveness, same nasty attitude. I only went a couple levels deep; it just seems so blatant I didn't trust my own judgment. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 16:44, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Clerk note: Unless you still have CheckUser data for this user, could you provide a userlink for a more recent Maleabroad sock? That seems like the only way to establish a technical connection between these users and Maleabroad. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 17:52, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Clerk note: From a cursory glance, it appears that Auto Correct (talk · contribs) is the most recent suspected sock of Maleabroad. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 17:59, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Now as a non-clerk, I must admit that the editing pattern of some of the aforementioned users is very similar to that of Maleabroad. Even if CheckUser determines otherwise, I think there's sufficient contribution evidence to determine sockpuppetry. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 17:59, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Confirmed all, plus Valid Keys (talk · contribs) and Sufficient Memory (talk · contribs) are the same user. Whether or not they are Maleabroad seems a technical quibble at best. Thatcher 23:05, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Based on a second source of information, these editors are connected with the same institution and the same /24 range as Maleabroad was using a year and a half ago. Make of that what you will. Thatcher 23:12, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Clerk note: Good enough for me, blocked all. JaiMadeshi (talk · contribs) is a non-existent user. The actual username was Jai Madhesh! (talk · contribs); could you check that one as well? Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 23:26, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- That's confirmed as well. Thatcher 00:49, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

- Code letter: C, F
Reasons:
- Similar pattern of contributions on a multitude of pages with POV pushing (including creation of new POV fork article Hindu (Culture), deleted after AFD), similar edit summaries (accusing other editors of jealousy [1], saying that there is no consensus for reversion [2] etc)
- Some of the socks have uploaded images such as [3] and these (which incidentally are copyvios with incorrect tags), which are then added to articles by other socks.
- User:Redtigerxyz1 has taken a name deceptively similar to User:Redtigerxyz (a editor in good standing) and then edited the same article Ganesha beyond Hinduism.
- Further discussions on these incidents can be found here, here, here, here, here and here.
- There are many other suspected socks of User:Maleabroad listed in this category and many of them are unblocked; it will be useful if CU could ferret out more and some admin could block them. Abecedare 17:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Further evidence: Algorithm1 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) recreated article Hindu (Culture) that was a product of three other socks of Maleabroad, and was deleded after an AFD discussion. Abecedare 17:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Jpgordon, can you please clarify if "Unnecessary" means that the above listed accounts can be treated as confirmed socks of Melabroad based on the presented evidence and hence blocked. I ask because, User:Randomatom001 has been disputing (or rather demanding evidence that he is a sock :-) ) and I wanted to be certain myself, before responding and requesting a block. Thanks. Abecedare 21:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's unnecessary because you've provided enough information to demonstrate that they're socks without checkuser helping. But since you asked, I ran the full thing, and every one of them (with the exception of Omkar Y) are on the same college network. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 21:54, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks Josh. I'll try to keep Maleabroad requests to a minimum, although I dare say his socks will be with us for a long time, especially since range block of college IPs is infeasible. Regards. Abecedare 22:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Maleabroad (2nd request)

- TypeEditor1 (talk · · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
- Code letter: F
Reasons:
- User account was created after previous sockpuppets of User:Maleabroad were blocked.
- User's edit summaries are very similar to those used by Maleabroad and puppets (eg [4]).
- User edits same topics as Maleabroad (although this is a bit of a stretch - it's a broad range).
- User account name follows pattern of previous sock puppet accounts by Maleabroad (TypeEditor1, Flourescent1, Draft1, Spectral01 for example).
Maleabroad was blocked by consensus for POV-pushing, edit warring, sock puppetry and so on (see [5]), hence the code letter F. Orpheus 08:11, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Additional info: Primary (Maleabroad) account hasn't been used for a while. Most recent one was Lineroad (talk · · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) (already blocked).

Please compare edit summaries. User:Reversionist also recreated article Brahmin Contributions to Other Religions that User:Maleabroad (and hos sockpuppets, such as User:HinduDefender) edited/created under various names. See also Gautama_the_Hindu Abecedare 00:54, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

- Likely. Also perhaps
